Choirs in SE Bucks

Post by Waiting_For_Godot »

Not an 11+ question but I am looking for a church which has boy choristers in the area around Watford including South East Bucks. Does anyone know of any choirs?

I have posted on the Herts forum too.

Have you heard of Taplow Choirs run by Gillian Dibden and Christopher Wray? Not a Church, but they do sing a lovely range of music. My DD is in the Girls Choir and loves it. There is also a Childrens Choir, Boys Choir and for the older teenagers (both boys and girls) a Youth Choir. The Youth Choir won BBC Choir of the year a couple of years ago. The Girls and Youth Choir are audition entry choirs, not sure about the others.

I have heard of these (although I don't have any experience of them), might be worth an investigate as they are about 20 mins drive from Watford:

Thanks for your replies. DS went to the Walbrook singers a couple of times and although it is a good choir I'm looking for church repertoire which develops his sight-reading.

Tallow has a great reputation but unfortunately it is a little to far for us. :(
